  • In OpenWRT, add an entry in DNSmasq under General - Addresses of /myfakecomain.com/<serverIPAddress This will make every variation of service.myfakedomain.com resolve to that address (assuming you have the hosts on your network obtaining DNS via the OpenWRT router).

    Then set up a reverse proxy on that server or whereever you’re directing that wildcard. If you have a lot of docker stacks on that machine, I’d suggest Traefik because you can just configure the compose files with the hostnames you want for that service, and it’ll update Traefik to redirect that hostname to that container. You can also add bespoke entries to Traefik for non-container services, or other services on your network to redirect towards.



  • It’s absolute bullshit. I ended up returning to Reddit for the technical subs precisely because I’m sick and tired of the smug cunts on Lemmy that publicly whinge about AI at the drop of a hat, but probably use it constantly behind the curtains. There’s no discussion to be had on Lemmy about AI; it’s automatically a fight.

    Reddit is nowhere near as antagonistic to it. I’m not reading any of the default subs, of course, but the technical subs have useful discussion without constant acrimony from people that have no interest in being there except to be assholes.

    It’s a downside to low traffic on Lemmy that encourages people to browse All, and end up inserting themselves into a discussion they wouldn’t have run across in their actual subscribed comms.


  • I don’t see that it increases the costs. I’ve written software and PMd other software builds in a previous life. Software has bugs and either I fix it slowly because I have to wait for winter to have time, or the AI does it while I drive a tractor for a couple bucks in tokens. AI can architect fine now and if you use your head, you can cross-check the codebase to ease maintenance with other LLMs, then come in and give it a final QA yourself.

    I have a bugtracker I build into any software I build, an agent watches for new entries by users and does some preliminary work before bringing it to my attention and then every day I get a report that I can say what gets worked on while I have coffee. Honestly, I don’t care if the agent decides to refactor the whole mary-anne, it pings me perioidically in Matrix and I steer it around like I do my hired men asking which field to cultivate next.

    At this point I have almost entirely vibe-coded software that’s been dogfooded for almost 2 years that works great and massively improves our operation. And I have a dozen other ideas ready for me to give some attention to in order to get them off the ground. It’s an exciting time. I love it.


  • I’ve rebuilt a few SaaS projects that I use so it’s under my control. Might not have all the bells and whistles, but it aligns with my needs better.

    I rebuilt a simple Playstore task app into a multiuser fleet maintenance app for the farm. I’m not putting it in the wild, I don’t need that headache. I build it exactly for our needs and I don’t need to have to deal with users I can’t tell to fuck off to their faces when they get snotty about a bug.

    But overall, this kneejerk “everything AI makes is broken” bullshit is starting to get to me. It’s pretty obvious these people either haven’t used it in the last year or so, or don’t know how to. Or they’re just performing for the internet, and actually use it all the time. I tend to think the latter.
